I don't get men sometimes.
Let's pretend for a moment that I am single and that I am on the prowl for a man... For any reason. Relationship, hookup, lifetime friend, hair stylist, real estate agent, whatever.
Nothing would annoy me more than being greeted with a "Hey sexy" or "What's up baby?" from guys that I have never spoken to in my life. Actually, it does annoy me, because it seems to happen to me a great deal. The Internet, real life, whatever.
The Internet can actually be worse, because people are less restrained online than they are in real life. The weirder ones try to court me with pictures of their many genital piercings. Most of the time though, it'll proceed with me talking to some guy that seems normal until he wants me to get on cam and "show me your sexy lil' body. You're so beautiful. OMG YOU'RE HOT." Thankfully, I haven't actually been propositioned for cyber sex for a few years.
And these aren't guys that are just looking for a little online fun. They are actually looking for serious relationships, and believe that this approach is attractive to women.
*sigh*
And then a few weeks ago, I forgot why I do not talk to a particular ex of mine. I don't know why I keep forgetting. He and I were texting back and forth and he seemed like he was going to behave normally, until he started making references to the times he saw me in my nightgown (this was somehow erotic to him) and started asking me if I wanted to talk dirty to him. I told him that it sounded like he needed to get laid, to which he responded that he could "get it whenever." He spent the next few hours practically sobbing over text message about how he regretted having never tried to steal me from my other ex and begging me to tell him that he was pretty. Meanwhile, his cousin had gotten my phone number and tried to impress me with stories of his awesome drunk driving skills. I was too nice to tell my poor ex that he basically has no chance of ever hooking up with a decent girl. Sad thing is, he is actually very attractive- in an All American "I played varsity sports in high school and I really should just join the military" kind of way... Not my type, really... But his personality is just so deplorable. I guess it would have been somewhat acceptable when he was 15 or 16, but.... Not at 25.
Men, please, stop acting this way. A great majority of you seem to. It is not attractive when you treat us like pets, "You're so pretty, yes you are, yes you are, whose the prettiest girl in the whole wide world, YOU ARE." and it is equally as unattractive when you act like a hormonal teenaged girl.
